Chapter 414. The work of comic authors (4100 words)(2/2)
She thought so and did the same.
He called Higashinoji directly.
And just during the period when Hosokawa Koharu called Higashinoji.
On the other side, Yanzhu Publishing House.
"The sales volume of "Hanzawa Naoki" is 367,000 yuan?"
When President Meimu of Iwazu Publishing House heard the news, he couldn't help but ponder.
Now it's basically anyone who can tell.
"Hanzawa Naoki" is definitely aiming for the number one in Japan...that is, it is sold in four million volumes.
Japan's number one.
This is what anyone wants to achieve.
Even President Meimu, who is the Iwazu Publishing House, is the same.
Although it only looks at economic benefits, the money earned by "Hanzawa Naoki" can only be a small part of the huge publishing house.
But in other aspects... the title of "Japanese No. 1" is much easier to use.
That was a position that even he was a little jealous.
"There are two volumes left."
President Meimu gave out a sigh, remembered it and turned on the computer and looked at the sales data of the comics of the same period as "Hansawa Naoki".
The comics that dare to compete on the same stage as "Hanzawa Naoki" are basically sold terrible, and no one can touch each other at all.
Since that's the case...
President Meimu thought for a while and simply changed the date of the sale of these comics to other times.
"Hanzawa Naoki" has now become ambition. Even if you use this kind of off-the-stop trick, the malicious competition with "Hanzawa Naoki" will not stop it from continuing to move forward.
So at this time it is better to give way directly and pursue the greatest benefits of the publisher.
As for whether "Hanzawa Naoki" can win the first place...
"No one can tell."
Because it has reached this point, no one can predict what the next sales of "Hanzawa Naoki" will be.
"Two volumes left."
President Mei Mu let out a breath, picked up the thermos and drank a sip of tea.
He could only recite silently in his heart, hoping that Tomoji Publishing House and Higashinoji would not have such good luck.
If it really breaks the record for Higashinoji...
Then their family's "Chyo" is really not comparable to "Hashi".
Of course, it is not only President Umeki who is also concerned about the situation in "Hanzawa Naoki".
On the other hand, Urajima Editor-in-Chief of Toshima Publishing House is also very ups and downs.
It has reached this point.
He has finished all the moves he should have made.
What are the posters on the tram and the promotion of tram handshake?
What TV advertising, celebrity promotion...
Anyway, the means of promoting "Hanzawa Naoki" and promoting "Hanzawa Naoki" are all used.
He now felt like Zhuge Liang on Wuzhangyuan, and there was nothing he could do about it.
But he also knew that this battle must be won.
Because if they win, the competition between Iwatsuki Publishing House and Toshima Publishing House will also be a stop to the competition between them - after all, they have an additional "Japanese No. 1" comic.
If Iwaki Publishing House cannot produce works comparable to "Hansawa Naoki" in a short period of time.
Then I can only watch them sing and thriving.
"Then I can only look at Teacher Higashino's own performance."
Editor-in-chief Urashima has read the recent episodes of "Hanzawa Naoki" and found that the quality of the things Higashinoji is still perfect.
This made him feel a little relieved.
At least the quality of Higashinoji's works is still well maintained.
In addition to the mood of the editor-in-chief of Urajima, the editors of Tomojima Publishing House also exclaimed when they received the sales of "Hanzawa Naoki".
When "Hanzawa Naoki" was officially serialized, they only thought it was a very outstanding comic.
No one thought it could reach its level today.
Japan's first shot - this time it's the real first.
As long as it exceeds four million volumes to sell, "Hanzawa Naoki" will become another top-notch phenomenon comic work in the past decade.
This is certainly exciting.
Many editors are even betting whether Higashinoji can break the record.
The bet is also very simple, either a good bottle of sake or a pack of high-end cigarettes...
Not only the comics department, but also the editors in the literature department are discussing in detail.
The influence of "Hanzawa Naoki" has been so great before I knew it.
Newspapers, magazines, and video introductions on the Internet...
As soon as the sales record of "Hanzawa Naoki" came out, it was like a wild grass encountered a wildfire and it started to ignite.
Can "Hanzawa Naoki" win first place...?
Everyone was quite curious.
The people outside were quarreling, but there was no expression on the face of Higashinoji, the person involved.
He even talked and laughed with Koharu Hosokawa.
This made Hosokawa Koharu feel inexplicably "Is "Hanzawa Naoki" drawn by this guy?"
"Teacher Higashino, this is the sales record of "Hanzawa Naoki" this time, 367W volumes."
"Well. I understand. It should be two volumes left to finish. I have told you this too, Hosokawa editor."
Higashinoji nodded, then added.
“…I did receive the message…but…”
Hosokawa Koharu paused for a while, looking at Higashinoji who was so calm in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Higashino, do you have no idea?"
"What's the idea?"
Higashinoji looked up.
"It's the idea of how to get Japan's number one within two volumes."
In Hosokawa Koharu's opinion, the reason why Higashinoji was so calm was probably because he had already figured out how to win 4 million volumes in two volumes, right?
Is there a secret strategy to win?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to be so calm.
However...
"No."
Higashinoji smiled and replied: "I can only draw what I want to draw."
"Why...?"
After hearing this, Hosokawa Koharu raised her head, and when she saw Hitomiji's expression clearly, she was also stunned.
Although Higashinoji said he was smiling, his expression was very serious and he had no intention of joking.
This means that the sentence just now is indeed his true words...
But...
Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But soon she closed again.
Because as Higashinoji said.
All a cartoonist can do is to draw what he wants to draw.
Can it reach sales of four million volumes?
That is also based on the quality of works drawn by cartoonists.
This is the job of a comic author.
